Matt Corral was a highly touted four-star high school prospect. Per 247Sports, he was the 63rd ranked player in the nation after his senior year and ninth-best in the state of California. Before ultimately choosing Ole Miss, he was courted by Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan, among others. Over the last two seasons, he has thrived in Lane Kiffin’s up-tempo and RPO-heavy scheme. In 2020 he was a finalist for the Manning Award, and last year he finished seventh in the Heisman voting.
Corral offers a team some dual-threat ability with his passing and rushing skills. He has rushed for at least 506 yards on the ground over the last two seasons. Unfortunately, the propensity to use his legs has also led to some injuries along the way, with banged-up ribs (2019) and a high ankle sprain (2021). Projecting him to the NFL is a layered process, but he’s still garnering first-round buzz as teams are intrigued by his upside.
